Grower Information:

This is not your ordinary marigold! Even better than Cracker Jack, the extra-tall plants show off big, firm and well-shaped flowers up to 4.75 in. (12 cm) across. Count on long shelf life and continuous flowering from this star performer – it’s tolerant of soil-borne diseases such as Fusarium, with excellent adaptability to a wide range of climates. Great as a garden cut flower, too. 10 to 11 weeks.
